Physician wellness and burnout have long been important topics in Canadian health care. Though burnout presents in various occupations, physicians experience unique professional challenges that predispose them to experience burnout. Elements inciting this chronic condition are introduced early in medical education, reinforced during residency training, and poorly addressed during clinical practice. Substantial evidence demonstrates that burnout has significant and undesirable impacts on patient outcomes and care delivery. Physician quality of life and well-being as well as health care spending are also negatively impacted by burnout. However, there is an ongoing need to apply these research results in the clinical setting. Currently, research suggests that individual, cultural, and organizational factors play a role in the development and maintenance of burnout. Best practices to prevent burnout and manage its effects, including interventions during medical education and greater work autonomy, are required to address barriers to wellness at each of these levels.
